Northwestern v.s. Duke for premed

<p>Any ideas guys?</p>

<p>Also, I heard Northwestern is really good for journalism as well (even though I didn't apply to the medill, nor am I currently interested in journalism). Are there any other distinguishingly good depts/programs at NU? I've recently been accepted to the Arts and Sciences college of both, so just trying to ask around for advice :) </p>

<p>'preciate it!</p>

<p>its journalism, as you noted, is top notch. its economics program is also top 5 in undergraduate studies. i honestly am not sure about other stuff. NU is mosted noted for its graduate business school, Kelloggs, which is considered to be on the level of Wharton, etc.</p>

<p>NU has numerous strong programs. Within the WCAS, art history, economics, and chemistry are ranked in the top-10 while history/sociology are in the top-20 in the nation. The MMSS program is unlike any others and its graduates are highly sought after by elite firms.</p>

<p>Every department in the communication school is generally considered in the top-10 or 5. </p>

<p>Journalism school is generally considered top-3.</p>

<p>Education school is ranked #7 by US News.</p>

<p>Music school is generally considered one of the top-15.</p>

<p>Within engineering, mat sci is ranked #2, mangement sciences/industrial engineering is ranked #7, and civil is #10.</p>
